Sylvester Stallone has posted on Instagram the first photos of himself as John Rambo in Rambo 5, featuring the actor sporting a new western look for the character.

Axar.az reports that: "Tonight we start filming...!" Stallone said on Tuesday alongside a photo of John Rambo wearing a cowboy hat, tanned gloves and chaps.

John Rambo has traditionally worn military-style clothing, tank tops and a headband throughout the action series.

Stallone also posted on Instagram a photo of John Rambo riding a horse.

"Comes a Horseman Wild and Free. @rambomovie #rambo5," he captioned the image.

Rambo 5 is set for release in fall 2019. Adrian Grunberg is directing from a script by Matthew Cirulnick. Stallone will next be seen reprising his role as Rocky Balboa in Creed II, which is set to arrive in theaters on Nov. 21.
